Comment 11 for bug 1052399

(Disclaimer: I have no idea what I'm talking about)

Tags are not mandatory. After all this is just a documentation utility. What it does is to generate the document from whatever strings it loads, and the output will be fine whichever tags it happens to contain (quite independently of the original msgids). Unless of course some tags are invalid in which case the output is messed up.

So we have the choice: Shall we complain only about tags that we know to be wrong, or should we complain every time the translator has forgotten/chosen to use an unforeseen (by us) tag? The programme should probably provide both options, but someone who knows about Mallard could perhaps provide some "exact constraints" to help.

I'll send some (large) error reports to the i18n list and we'll probably get some more opinions.
